Environmental Risks in Implementing a Sustainable Development Model: a Scientific and Practical Approach
Authors O. Komelina and A. KomelinaSummaryProblems of implementation of sustainable development of Ukraine remain extremely important, also the directions and mechanisms of their solution require further development of scientific support. The importance of this problem is increasing in the context of the emergence of cascade and interconnected economic, social, technological risks. The scale and specificity of the risks of enterprises influence the overall dynamics of a country’s sustainable development. The article offers an algorithm of carrying out an integral assessment of the goals of sustainable economic development in Ukraine. The role, functionalities of enterprises as innovative ecosystems has been determined, as well as assessment of the contribution to the national model of sustainable development has been approached. The article specifies approach to determination of criteria of formation of indicators of assessment of risks of stable ecological development. The proposed integral assessment of environmental risks allows to determine priorities of practical implementation of innovative technologies, alternative energy sources, environmental protection measures at enterprises. An approach to selecting the direction of transformation of business models of enterprises whose operation is associated with changes in the natural environment is proposed.

Providing Kyiv with Well-Protected Drinking Groundwater and Increasing the Sustainability of the Water Supply of the Population of Ukraine, Based on the Experience Gained During the Russian-Ukrainian War
Authors V. Shestopalov, Yu. Rudenko, Iu. Negoda and V. SaprykinSummaryPollution-proof groundwater is a strategic resource, as in some emergencies it becomes the only reliable source of drinking water supply to the population. The created up-to-date hydrogeological model of the Kyiv industrial-urban agglomeration showed significant potential opportunities for using groundwater for the needs of population and industry. The hydrogeological parameters, features of water exchange within the studied territory have been clarified, the functional compliance of the model with natural-anthropogenic conditions has been proven. The authors consider the policy of the management of PJSC “AK Kyivvodokanal”, which is aimed at reducing the production of groundwater, to be erroneous. The created model should be one of the important elements of groundwater monitoring, the current state of which has almost been reduced to nothing. The authors have developed preliminary proposals for the restoration of groundwater monitoring and look forward to a comprehensive discussion in the professional community.
The course of hostilities in Ukraine showed the vulnerability of the public water supply system. The experience gained during the Russian-Ukrainian war showed that the drinking water supply system of population should be based, if possible, on two alternative sources (surface and groundwater) and must be two-level (centralized and pump-station water supply).

Strategic and Critical Minerals of Ukraine: Modern Challenges and Requirements for Quality Monitoring (Iron Ores as an Example)
Authors S. Shnyukov, I. Lazareva, V. Osypenko, A. Omelchenko, O. Bilan and O. BunkevychSummaryThe problems of strategic and critical types of mineral raw materials were problem considered on the example of iron ores. Found that the significant problems of the iron ore mining industry in Ukraine are: (1) the depletion of reserves of high-grade / traditional low-grade ores and (2) the need for their gradual replacement with new poorly studied ore types of complicated mineral composition. Such a replacement requires a modern assessment of the quality of new types of ores, as well as current monitoring of the corresponding parameters during their mining and further processing into final products (concentrates, pellets). Solving these problems is possible by creating simple modern complex technologies for fast and cheap assessment of the ores quality, which are based on the integration of modern methods of element analysis, optical and electron microscopy/electron probe microanalysis. A similar approach can be applied to other members of the strategic and critical mineral raw material groups. Development of the required technology will contribute to the successful response of the iron ore mining industry of Ukraine to the main modern challenge - a decrease in domestic production with an increase in World iron ore production and World iron ore prices.

Monitoring of the Groundwater State in the Deposits of the Upper Sarmatian Sub-Regional Stage of the Upper Miocene on the Example of the Chornomors`ke Groundwater Deposit in Odesa Region, Ukraine
Authors V. G. Tyuremina, E. A. Cherkez, S. M. Shatalin, D. Y. Didenko, G. A. Oprits and I. E. SoltysSummaryThe purpose of the work: assessment of the water management activities influence on formation of the resource component of the Chornomors`ke groundwater deposit (CGWD) usable reserves, establishment of regularities of the dynamics of piezometric surface and chemical composition of groundwater in the deposits of the Upper Sarmatian sub-regional stage. Methodology. The record forms of production wells drilled by various organizations in 1960–2020, data of monitoring observations of the level and quality of groundwater performed by Chornomors`ke “UChI” and Chornomors`ke “ADM” of the (CGWD) in 2014 – 2020 provided by Gidrogeoservis Firm were used, and the data from Mini-Diver sensors of the Schlumberger firm. Conclusions. Gradual decrease of piezometric levels in the layers and interlayers of Upper Sarmatian age was noted. Several local cones of depression with a decrease in levels of up to 25–30 m, as well as a large one that covered the studied area of the deposit were registered against the background of a general lowering of the level over the entire spread of the aquifer by an amount of up to 20 m. The research results indicate the presence of the flow of fresher waters from the upper aquifers of Upper Sarmatian.

Geological Risk Assessment while Exploration Carbonate Rocks Deposits
By E. MayborodaSummaryAmong all types of non-metallic raw materials used in metallurgy, carbonate rocks, stand out in terms of quantitative indicators especially flux limestone. This study offers an overview of geological risk assessment methods for the development of domestic carbonate deposits and an example of calculation for one of the deposits in the Kherson region. According to the results of the calculations, the deposit has a small risk of quality loss, which is ensured by distribution of the useful component. Fluctuations in the content of SiO2 and MgCO3 can have negative consequences, since for this deposit, increased amounts of SiO2 + Al2O3 are fixed when evaluating minerals as flux. An increase in the content of SiO2 + Al2O3 to 3.23–4% requires an increase in the consumption of iron-containing materials for agglomeration. In terms of lithological varieties, the greatest risks of non-confirmation of quality are recorded for oolitic limestone and pelitomorphic shell limestone.

Available Databases and FAIR Data/Metadata of Black Sea Environmental Parameters for Assessing the State of the Marine Environment and Predicting Geohazards
Authors N. Fedoronchuk, V. Iemelianov, T. Kukovska, O. Ivanik, I. Shuraiev and Ye. NasiedkinSummaryData from the marine environment are available information, which makes it possible to predict geo-environmental hazards, including those related to climat changes and neotectonic movements, achieve and maintain Good Ecological Status (GES), predict possible changes in the state of the marine environment and, therefore, be able to adapt to these changes.
Seafloor and coast parameters (bottom morphology, structure and physical and mechanicalproperties of bottom and shore sediments, ets.), gases (including methane), pollution and hydro-meteorological parameters due to climate change, as well as eutrophication parameters can be considered the most significant environmental parameters in terms to forecasting geohazards in the Black Sea.
This paper presents the results and outcomes of the inventory of database and platforms according to parameters, the time of observations, the amount of data, the maximum sampling depths and the maximum sea depths at the observation points, boundary coordinates, data format, compliance with FAIR etc. The existing available data/metadata concerning the sea and the coastal zone were analyzed in detail.
A feature of many platforms is access to ready-made analytical products without direct access to observational data.
The shallow part of the shelf and coastal areas are better represented on existing platforms. Data for the deep sea are scarcely disseminated.
